Overview

• The procession is scheduled to start at 14:30 from Alexanderplatz and head to the Großer Stern, where an evening rally and concert under the banner “All Eyes on Gaza” is planned.
• Organizers registered 30,000 participants and expect higher turnout, following previous large Gaza solidarity rallies in the capital.
• Berlin’s traffic center has announced closures from Friday 7:00 to Sunday 19:00 on key streets including the Straße des 17. Juni, Yitzhak-Rabin-Straße and Ebertstraße, with further restrictions along the route on Saturday.
• Police plan a major operation with about 1,800 officers citywide, roughly 900 directly accompanying the march, supported by units from other states.
• The demonstration is backed by groups including the Palästinensische Gemeinde Deutschland, Eye4Palestine, Medico International and Amnesty International; Die Linke is mobilizing for record turnout even as party figures voice concern about radical actors and formally limit their role to the march rather than the evening rally.
